Okay y'all...I got to Q63/65 on an SOA practice test this morning on TD and the damn website had an 'unexpected error' and cleared the whole damn thing...kept the ones I had flagged as flagged but cleared all the answers, but didn't lose its place on the timer...anyone else have this experience?
Mild Burnout Rant
Okay my fellow night owls, need to rant a bit to those who'll understand.
I'm down to 2 classes: D341 and D522 (THANK GOD it's becoming a PA next week), and just started my 4th term this month.
Yes, I know I've gotten a lot done in my first 3 terms, especially being new to the field (other than what I messed around with in the 90s) and considering the hours I work.
I'm 25 years into trucking, mid-40s, with a 4-year-old. I work around 60 hours a week, plus a 30–75 minute commute each way depending on whether someone decided to recreate Mad Max in the North Split while every alternate route home is under construction.
I'm just kind of burnt out.
On the days I get home at a decent time (before 8 PM, since I leave the house at 6 AM), I think, "Awesome, I'll get a good 90 minutes, maybe 2 hours, of studying done tonight."
Then tonight my kid wanted me to watch a movie with him.
And I'm not going to pass that up.
The whole reason I'm getting this degree is to get out of trucking and be able to be there for him. Soccer games. Little League. Homework when he starts school. Just the everyday stuff that a lot of us miss while we're chasing the next thing.
For those of you in a similar boat (crazy work hours + family + homeowner responsibilities), how do you cope?
I also want to make sure I mention that my wife has been awesome through this whole adventure. She handles bedtime most nights so I can study, and I couldn't have gotten this far without her.
I just can't wait until I can be the one reading him a book every night, and eventually reading with him.
(Also can't wait until he's old enough for Harry Potter.)
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.
I'm this damn close to finishing this thing.... D522 still kicking my ass..
Granted, I got this much done this term while still working 70ish-hour weeks, and having a 4-year-old at home.
Was really hoping to get done and not need to pay for another term, but on the bright side it's protated right and only gonna cost about half a full term? lol
The light is at the end of the tunnel....we can do this fellow night owls!
Anyone got recommendations on a good online salvage yard for Subaru specifically? The trim piece over the rocker panel on my Outback is broken and the odds of me finding one at a u-pull salvage yard around me (if they even still exist) is slim to none. TIA
If so, did they add a “cheat sheet” like D427 has now with syntax and such?
